Mr Sun’s Hatbox
Random combinations of traits and nicknames are another reliable source of comedy. We’ll not soon forget ‘Icky’ Clemons, the cowardly cannibal librarian, nor ‘Gunner’ Joseph, with his all-consuming fear of firearms
The rescue mission is going swimmingly. Expert infiltrator ‘Lanky’ McFadden has left a trail of snapped necks and discarded millinery in his wake, but he’s yet to be noticed – at least, not by anyone who survives. A security camera watching over the cage that holds his target is blinded with the final round from his silenced pistol. McFadden goes to collect his prize – and slips on a banana peel. This puts him in range of a discarded boxing-glove hat, which in turn launches him into the waiting mouth of a shark.
